OkeyMaple, thanks for starting this thread.  It was quite interesting............for a while............

Well, I didn't know that this was such serious business that we can't have a laugh along with the rest. If you are like this all the time, I surely pity you. Have a nice night.

I had a boil, once when I was about ten. I remember my dad wraping a string around the core and pulling it out. I almost passed out!!

I sure don't want to grow another, that's just crazy 

You can't shoot good if you have boils, that's crazy, too 

I know of people that I woudn't mind if they grew boils. I think it would be nice for them

Frank a 1-40 Alloy Spitzer is indeed capable of winning matches I never said it couldn't. What I was trying to simply point out based on my findings is simply that a harder alloy tends to provide more day in, day out and year round consistency. This would be in regards to the ill effects of having a bullets nose slump as several here have pointed out. JS's ongoing success is due to him being a very well rounded dedicated competitive shooter and luck in no would play a part in it. I admire his match winning capabilities and I am sure they were hard earned by his time spent to refine his rifle into what it has become. I think it also safe to say in all honesty and admiration that his ability to understand and to correct for the various range conditions presented to him are second to none. The time restraints presented in CBA and having those abilities is what typically separates those who do very well from those who don't and it is very obvious to me that JS has spent the time and dedication it takes to acquire those skills. To continually be able to shoot in the upper 390's is in no way a luck related task and I fail to see where I might have mentioned it as it being so for JS.
